i have two separate starlink setups. one at home and one at our cabin. both are residential. cost is 110 per month for each.

when i was in beta with my home setup (got it 18 months ago) it cost 500 dollars and is the older round dishy. when i got the one at my cabin about a year ago, it was still 500 and was the rectangular dishy. now the hardware is 600 for the residentail.

i live in a rural area where other internet setups were dsl (terrible), and various point to point wireless small companies that were unreliable and right not much cheaper.

our cabin is very rural and only solution was dsl which was typically around 1-5mb since i was at the end of the useful distance from the demarc. i have various home automation at the cabin and it is needed when i am not there. plus we stream everything nowadays.

i will say that over the past 6 month, my speeds have slowed down considerably with starlink during peak evening hours. not enough to affect anything, but way down and they seem to be throttling the upload speeds to 10mb now. didnt used too.

that said, no complaints as it is far better than anything else as of now
